Hell...It's about time.
High 80's for me. Probably close to 88.
Funny would be to see the user score.

Curious about this one. I recently tried 1 and 2 again and the shooting mechanisms, the level designs, the bullet sponge enemies and all did not age too gracefully imho. Curious to see how effectively this one shakes up the formula, because I'd be all in for another Borderlands but it needs to evolve now.
I think it will be around Borderlands 1 score. I haven't been following the game as much as other people, but it seems like it doesn't have such a big evolution to the formula, so that might penalize it a little bit.
Yeah, the generation leap really shows in terms of actual gameplay loop. Other shooters just feel miles better nowadays, hopefully this one can make the formula evolve enough because the core concept is still cool as hell.
With well cherrypicked outlets this could skew MC score upwards quite a bit thanks to small and possibly favorable review pool.
Expecting 88 or so.
Previews have universally praised the gunplay/movement as a big improvement over the previous games in the series. No microtransactions or loot box bullshit. And they aren't afraid to borrow from other successful loot-based games like the endgame stuff from Diablo 3... unlike another recent looter shooter. But it's generally harder to break 90 these days.

Yeah, that's a valid point. It could easily start various points higher compared to where it ultimately lands a week or two later, which could trick people's perception about the actual reception of the game.
Massive fan of BL2 and this seems to be more of the same so I'll probably enjoy it regardless of reviews (and despite Randy Pitchford's general bullshittery).
Hopefully if they haven't changed too much from BL2 it'll be in the high 80s, low 90s.

Should be fewer reviews than usual
Don't expect many Borderlands 3 reviews before launch – only US sites got code

High 80s I'm betting, it looks like some of the holdover aspects of the series will probably show their age a bit, so it wont review as well as BL2. Borderlands had a whole genre to itself for a while, now there's lots of games that have taken aspects and polished or improved them, even if they are neccessarily 1:1 gameplay matches overall. Might take a bit of the sheen off.
88
High 80s would still rate it higher than any Destiny or The Division game.

If it tanks, at the end of the day Randy will still be a millionaire, but possibly hundreds of people will be without a job. I don't like Randy either but this isn't what people should wish for.
Same. Fuck the folks who worked on it and will be without a job if it fails, my hatred for Randy "the guy" Pitchfork takes precedence in this case.
